May need to add some sweetener?

While, I had to sweeten the pot by telling her that I would hire someone to clean our house indefinitely if should would agree, we moved to the inner city - into one of the roughest parts (64127) I might add...Since we have moved here, our heart for the inner city and inner city development has grown, and we are seeing a huge need in Kansas City and throughout the United States for investors to come together and invest in affordable housing.  

Maybe offer a six month lease as a sweetener then you renew or release in summer.

Hey @Alan Sweeten, you're right; it really depends on one's portfolio.

You can offer to sweeten the deal on a lend/loan they give you.

.- Find out what the seller is looking for outside of price; perhaps there is something you can offer them to sweeten the deal (ie quick close, longer timeline, rent-back, etc)- Ask for any documents and disclosures up front, and after you're in escrow, take your due diligence period seriously and dig into any unknowns- Find a general contractor you trust to walk through the property with you and give you a ballpark estimate, and also see if there's a way to add a separate entrance/lock off and separate laundry (much more attractive for tenants)And most importantly, don't let all of these bullet points overwhelm you — it can be a lot of work, but it can also be very rewarding!

Sometimes they have to loose 2-3-10 before they understand.Maybe you can do some things to sweeten the offer. 

I have a coffee maker / Keurig and provide instant coffee, tea, and different flavored sweeteners that I get from Marshalls or TJ Max. 

So Jimmy then changes his offering and offers his notes, at full face (unpaid balance) AND adds a small amount of cash as a sweetener.  

But a few things we did to sweeten the deal: he answered some basic questions for us at an in person meeting so we sent a giftcard to a great local bbq spot to his office.
